Super Senior Men's Team Just Misses Playoffs

The 2009 Super Senior men's 7.0 team ended up 1 win from making the playoffs.
The District Tournament would accept 3 teams from each division and we ended up in 4th place 1 win out.
I am very proud of the way we played this year. We lost a couple of heart breakers that would have make a big difference in the outcome and final results. This was a great group of guys.

The SS Division is a very competitive group. We are playing against clubs who have coaches, conduct drills and players that have been playing together for years. I think our team made a very good run at the playoffs.

Team Members are:

Duncan, Larry
Johnson, Dan
Martin, Dick
Posluszny, John
Rankin, Don
Stark, Ron
Wesley, Braden
Sedillo, Paul Captain

Friday Night Lights #2

Friday Night Lights on July 17th was another success. We had several combinations of men's and women's doubles followed by snacks and dinner on the Eagle's Nest Patio. A good time was had by all.

The next Friday Night event is scheduled for July 31st.

Court viewing area is complete

The new court viewing area is complete! It is located west of court 1 and allows viewing of courts 1 and 2. The flagstone area currently has two benches and is big enough to also accomdate lawn chairs. The bushes and windscreens have been removed to provide clearer views of the courts. Its perfect for watching USTA matches or any other tennis event.

Doubles Tournament 8/22 - 8/23

The annual doubles tournament has been scheduled for August 22 - August 23. The entry fee will be $5 per person per event. There will be men's double's, women's doubles, and mixed doubles. There will be flights to accomodate all levels of players. A BBQ dinner will follow the tournament on the 23rd.

More information will be available soon.

East-West Tournament Rescheduled to 9/12

We are rescheduling the event for Saturday, September 12th.

Please set that date aside if you are interested in playing. Because of this rescheduling, we'll postpone our End of Summer Mixer (which was originally scheduled for September 13th) to a later date.

Sign up sheets will be on the Gazeebo Bulletin Board the first of August.

Breakfast at Wimbledon (Eagle's Nest style)

On July 5th, twenty+ members of HEB tennis club enjoyed a typical English breakfast and watched the men's finals at Wimbledon on a big screen TV. The Eagle's Nest Restaurant did us proud and served scrambled eggs, potatoes with onions and peppers, link sausage, bacon, grilled mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, strawberries and cream, toast, orange juice, coffee and tea - and it was delicious. It was great fun watching the last day of Wimbledon with our tennis buddies.

First Ever Friday Night Lights

Our first ever Friday Night Under the Lights went really well. The weather was kind to us considering how changeable it has been recently. About 24 members attended the event, each playing 8 games before rotating with a different group of four. There was no real order to the event. It was "just turn up and play" and it seemed to work great! Some members arrived later due to work schedules. Most people stayed until almost 9:00 PM and enjoyed the beautiful evening under the lights at HEB.

The event was such a success that it will be repeated every 2 weeks starting July 17th.

Summer Kickoff

The weather cooperated on May 31st for our Summer Mixer. About 30+ people participated, and we were able to keep four courts occupied for three hours. Having worked up an appetite, everyone moved towards the Eagle's Nest Restaurant where a fantastic BBQ was served on the patio.
